Calputer

The word Calputer is a portmanteau in Azbuka that originates from "Calculation Computer": that is, a machine capable of problem-solving, estimation or even thinking. Advanced, Gold Age creations, calputers are capable of such complex commands that they can even think and speak; the actual limit of this kind of sophisticated device is unclear. Regardless, most nation's computation engines are basic thermionic valve mathematical machines. This is partly due to high EMP activity in Azimuth's atmosphere, which has made finding a more efficient substitute difficult. It is believed that Gold Age engineers devised a means of overcoming the EMP noise to create Azrune's most advanced Calputers, sometimes known as "Thinking Machines".
